A1 and 2 only
B2 and 4 only
C1, 2 and 4
D1 and 3

Explanation

India's principal iron ores are haematite and magnetite, which occur in large deposits in states like Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Jharkhand. Limonite and siderite occur only in minor quantities and are not counted among the main types found in India. Hence haematite and magnetite — statements 1 and 2 only — is the correct answer.
